My opinion from another current thread that parallels this one:

I also appreciate the quality and performance of my BR straps; I have several of them. BUT, there is a time and place for the use of this style of camera suspension devices. On my Panasonic, yes. On my Minoltas, yes. On my FM2n, maybe. On my D7100 with a battery grim and an 80-400 mounted, absolutely not. On my Leica IIIf, absolutely not. As for my “maybe” on the FM2n, I will use the BR on the camera itself; with the MD12 attached, probably not. I am not going to write a dissertation on my reasons; most should be obvious. I do like wrist straps and even have one on the Leica, which has a thin metal plate on the bottom. But I use it as a safety measure; I never carry the camera dangling from the strap. I have a cheap wrist strap for the Panasonic and, surprisingly nothing on the Nikon. My point, again, is that there is a time and place for everything, and the choice of a camera carrying system depends on many factors. There is no magic solution. Having said that, I will tell you that one thing comes close for me and that is the OpTech Bino/Cam Harness™.
